We couldnt take it...We had to get out.
So we packed up the truck and off we went. Here are a few pictures of the day. Enjoy! This first picture is what it looked like when we arrived. Tempature was 52 in the sun. Water temp was 31, and we were at 10,500 feet.  But I was ready.

Now, this pic is of the previous gold with the other gold found during the "winter tests"......Notice anything different?
Even though we are only talking about maybe 20' of creek.....it really pays to read the flow and anticipate the deposits!  Think I know where we will be working next time!   And by the time the spring melt levels off.....this will be one sweet hole! Here's a short video if ya' like..... (1min)  MrsCP is doing some testing both of the ground and drysuit dryness.....but I think the drysuit failed!   Winter Testing Vid
